Anathema - A Return to Classic Horror in Comics

Anathema - A Return to Classic Horror in Comics

Hey everybody! It was suggested that I come here and share my comic project with you fiendish folk! I was hesitant at first, because I didn't want to come off as being a salesperson and not a genuine horror fan, but in the end I decided that I wouldn't want to deprive people of a good classic horror comic series. If you take offense to my posting, I cannot apologize enough, and you can feel free to throw sharp implements at me until I'm reduced to a bloody pile of girl goo. That being said, here's my project:

I'm a big fan of classic horror magazines like Warren Publishing's Creepy and Eerie, as well as the Hammer Horror films. You'll definitely see that come through in my storytelling. So, if this sounds like something that might be up your alley, feel free to check it out. You don't have to contribute financially (unless you really like the project), but feel free to share the link around with people who might dig it. Thanks so much for your time and attention!

I'm doing pretty much the same thing you're doing, financing my own project (as well as not paying myself). I hope you find success with this, the artwork looks stunning and it's refreshing to see something in comics that's not either A) superhero nonsense or B) SAW-like horror drek.

"RachelDeering's first full length comic reads like the work of aseasoned
pro. I was instantly hooked. I will be following her careerclosely."-
Mark Poulton writer ofSavage Hawkman, Avengelyne, andA Cat Named Haiku

"If you enjoy dark horror tales, lesbians, demons, witches, or
werewolves, I'd advise you to check this one out as soon as possible.
This book is sort of like if Edgar Allen Poe were a riotgrrl." - Geektress.com

Anathema
is a six issue limited series horror comic that tells the story of
Mercy Barlowe, a tormented young woman with a dark side. She must fight
through treacherous lands and unspeakable horrors to reclaim her lover's
soul, which has been stolen by members of a sinister cult, bent on
resurrecting a terrible and ancient evil.

In issue #1, we saw
Mercy's world torn asunder, and watched as she accepted the curse of the
wolf. Can Mercy learn to harness her horrible new powers and stop the
raven cult before they succeed in their vile plan? Mercy needs your help
to see her journey through!

The
first Anathema kickstarter was an overwhelming success thanks to the
support of people like you! Now that Anathema has found a publishing
home with ComixTribe, I hope to raise the funds necessary to complete
the remaining 5 issues in the series! I'm asking for $20,000 to cover
the cost of paying my amazing artist and colorist. All money goes to
them, less Amazon and Kickstarter fees, and I don't keep a dime for
myself...UNLESS!!

Anything I raise above and beyond the goal
amount will go toward getting me out to conventions this year. This will
help me to be able to promote and sell Anathema to a wider audience. I
love interacting with comic fans, signing merchandise, and being able to
network with other comic professionals! The convention experience is a
MUST for all creators in the comics industry if they hope to establish
themselves.
